Whilst the big news of the day has been the story of Arsenal sending a delegation to Germany in order to wrap up a deal for Julian Draxler, seemingly other work is being done to ensure if this move can’t be done in January, something else will for the Gunners.
An alarming lack of pace for Arsenal in last night’s 2-2 draw with Southampton has clearly alerted Arsene Wenger into pushing for a deal for the 20 year old German from Schalke. However, due to the size of the transfer and Schalke’s reluctance to let their prize possession leave midway through the season, Arsenal have been forced to have a backup plan just in case.

Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler is in Munich today to visit the same doctor who conducted a medical for Mesut Özil before his transfer to Arsenal towards the end of the summer transfer window.
Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt is the doctor in question but unfortunately he isn’t doing a medical because Draxler is moving to Arsenal (yet), it is just to see when he can start training with a ball again.

Arsene Wenger is on the look out for a striker, that is if the Julian Draxler transfer to Arsenal can’t be completed before the window closes.

Arsenal fans came into this January transfer window with hope that the club would spend big on an additional striker to provide protection for Olivier Giroud, especially after Theo Walcott was ruled out for the season.
However, thus far the only player Arsenal have really been linked to with any conviction is German international Julian Draxler.
The Schalke star, who has a release clause of £37 million this summer, looked like he could be heading to the Emirates this January after Arsenal reportedly offered a fee in a similar region to his summer release fee. However, this move now looks more likely to occur, if it does in fact happen, in the summer.
